User : yes
User : Left ear hearing also reduced
Doctor : and it did show there was cranial nerve problem
Doctor : now i can tell you ho you can help to reduce your symptoms
Doctor : to begin with
Doctor : 1) Avoid exposure to loud sounds and noises.
Doctor : 2) Decrease salt intake.
Doctor : 3) Avoid nerve stimulants such as coffee and colas (caffeine) and tobacco (nicotine).
Doctor : 4) Try to stop worrying about the tinnitus. Often, the more you worry and concentrate on the noise, the louder it will become.
Doctor : 5) Get adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
Doctor : 6) Utilize masking noise. Tinnitus is usually more bothersome when the surroundings are quiet, especially when you are in bed. A competing sound such as a ticking clock, a radio, a fan or white noise machine may help mask tinnitus. Small hearing aid like devices which generate a competitive sound may help reduce the awareness of the tinnitus.

User : ya for sure will do that
User : the report was taken 1 yera back
Doctor : Include lot of green vegetables and fresh fruits. This will improve your immune system and reduces your tinnitus sufferings. Chewing dry fruits helps enhance the blood circulation, thereby acting beneficially in solving tinnitus.
Doctor : Daily exercising will keep you physically and mentally fit. This will also regulate your blood pressure and thus prevent tinnitus from occurring. Avoid taking drugs unless they have been specifically prescribed by your doctor. Some of the drugs may aggravate tinnitus.

A simple and healthy heal Tinnitus caused by circulatory problems is to increase blood circulation by chewing nuts.
